Sons of Encouragement
The Bible is filled with inspiring stories of unlikely candidates God chose to quietly change eternity. Aaron. Caleb. Jonathan. Amos. Silas. Each faithfully sought God in the shadows of His chosen leaders. They answered God's call to serve without recognition or fame. And they gave everything, knowing their reward might not come until the next life. Be challenged by these faithful men from both the Old Testament and the New Testament whose stories we must never forget. Aaron ―the priest who stood in Moses' shadow but had the courage to cover his brother's fears as they led the nation of Israel Caleb ―the warrior whose words stirred men's hearts and brought God's people to the Promised Land Jonathan ―the prince whose humility led him to befriend the man who would become king in his place Amos ―the prophet who heard when God called and spoke to a nation unwilling to listen Silas ―the scribe who worked alongside the early apostles, surrendering his wealth to record God's Word, even as those around him were silenced Beloved Christian author Francine Rivers brings Scripture and history to life in these well-researched stories of spiritual leaders. Each novella includes an in-depth Bible study perfect for personal reflection or group discussion.
